I decided to store some fuel at home a while back. I bought 4 fuel jerry cans 10 litres each from Supercheap autos when they were on sale for $17ea (handle on top and side, orange and with yellow filler nozzle and cap). The 20 litre would make it to arkward filling up the bike with its weight.
I buy on Tuesdays, saves me riding 9klm round trip buying preferred location fuel. Use supermarket voucher for 4c off.
All 4 cans hold a total of about 46 litres. I like the idea of refuelling at home when it suits me, always have emergency fuel on tap. And when they bomb the shit out of Irans nuclear hopefull I wont end up queing for fuel, for a short while at least lol.
Fuel does go off. Rang BP Ultimate's tech department who says 3 months storage is fine. I have noticed fuel evaporation even when filled to top and well sealed. Yes I guess there is an element of danger storing fuel in garage but theres fuel in bikes tank as well.
Just some of the pros and cons, what do you think?
